Outside the door was the sound of Xiangyu's footsteps leaving.
"Let's go, eat first, and after eating, we will plan the next step." Zhou Lan said, smiling and patting me on the shoulder, "Don't take these things as important, be happy
A little bit is regarded as another special life experience. Moreover, we don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and we don’t have to sacrifice ourselves for five buckets of rice. This kind of life is something that many people can’t achieve after working hard all their lives.”
"Brother, I understand. Don't worry, I will get out of the shadow of grandma's death as soon as possible." I responded with a smile.
"Then you clean up and go to eat. The Zhou family is supposed to be invulnerable." Zhou Lan stood up from the edge of the bed, not forgetting to cheer me up.
"Okay, brother, I'll be there soon." I said.
Zhou Lan looked at me and then left the bedroom.
I just fainted at my old aunt's door. Chen Mo and the others probably carried me to the bed, so the clothes on my body are now covered in dust.
I got up and carefully pulled out a pair of black cloth pants and a linen top from the closet.
In fact, I really don’t want to touch the clothes in the closet, because my grandma washed them, folded them and put them in there.
The smell of grandma still lingers here, and in a daze, I seem to still be able to feel the warmth of grandma's grooved hands on the clothes.
I held the clothes in my hands and was stunned for a moment, and then I came back to my senses.
By the time I changed my clothes and came to the front hall, Xiang Yu and Chen Mo had already laid out the food and even served it to me. The whole family was waiting for me to eat.
I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment and smiled awkwardly: "Let's start dinner."
"You kid, you're just taking your time, everyone is waiting for you." Zhou Lan pretended to be angry and slapped me, and then went to his seat.
"Xiao Cang, I just told Chen Mo that our next location is Shennongjia."
As soon as I picked up my rice bowl, Zhou Lan spoke.
"Yes, I can solve the problem of the equipment route. I just discussed it with Zhou Lan and wonder if we should call a guide?" Chen Mo said.
"Shennongjia is mostly virgin forest with no human activities, so I think it's better to call a guide. After all, some local mountain people will sneak into the depths of Shennongjia to pick precious medicinal materials and so on." Xiang Yu
said.
"If everyone agrees to call a guide, then I will arrange for someone to find a reliable person for us," Chen Mo said.
"I think it's okay, but we have to negotiate it in advance to avoid leaving any traces in the future," Zhou Lan said.
"That's no problem." Chen Mo replied.
"Chen Mo, you should prepare more of the Chen family's Guiyuan Pill. After all, in the mountains, you may still need it sometimes." I swallowed a mouthful of food as if I suddenly remembered it.
He went down and said to Chen Mo.
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, Zhou Cang. You may not know something. This Guiyuan Pill is the secret recipe of the Chen family. It has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. And because some of the medicinal materials in it are extremely rare, the annual output is very limited.
Of this limited output, absolutely
Most of them were enshrined to the top officials, and only the few remaining ones were given free control by the Chen family, and this control power was in the hands of the head of the Chen family. After his father's death, this power fell into the hands of the professor.
It’s in.” Chen Mo looked at me and said.
"There is actually a medicine that can bring the dead back to life. It's so miraculous." Xiangyu also put down his job and looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.
"The Wen family can even tame the alligator. The Chen family can use a few herbs. What's the fuss?" Chen Mo said calmly.
Xiangyu was used to seeing Chen Mo like this, so he didn't mean to blame him. Instead, he smiled, then picked up his rice bowl and said: "That's right. Anyway, families related to the astrolabe are a bit weird.
It’s strange. In Wawu Mountain, although we haven’t seen the tribesmen from the ancient temple, do you remember? Their skulls are all blue.”
What Xiang Yu said actually reminded us.
Shennongjia is so big, it is impossible for us to look through the entire Shennongjia to see where the sculpture with the head of Capricorn is.
However, we can check whether any blue skeletons have been unearthed in Shennongjia in history, and where the blue skeletons have been unearthed. In this case, it will be more targeted.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is no need to look for grandma's dowry, just go straight to the place where the blue bones were unearthed.
Obviously, Chen Mo and Zhou Lan thought of going together with me.
"Zhou Lan, the matter of the blue skull should be kept confidential." Chen Mo suddenly said this to Zhou Lan for some reason.
"Of course." Zhou Lan smiled lightly, without raising his head, and picked up a piece of kale bone.
Xiangyu and I looked at each other and felt a little confused. We didn't know what secret riddle the two of them were playing.
"Whether you go to investigate or I go to investigate, we will limit it to Shennongjia first," Zhou Lan continued.
"Let's go together. Zhou Cang and Xiang Yu don't have many resources, so they shouldn't be able to help with this matter." Chen Mo said.
"Okay, let's start taking action after dinner." Zhou Lan finally raised his head and looked at Chen Mo firmly.
"No, what are you two doing? Keep it secret. Doesn't everyone know about the blue skull? Why should we keep it a secret? Who should we keep it secret from? Or have you found out some useful information again?" I said what was in my mind.
All doubts were expressed in a whisper.
Chen Mo and Zhou Lan looked at me at the same time and smiled, then unanimously chose to ignore me, and both of them began to immerse themselves in their food.
"No, this, what is this?" I asked a little anxiously.
At this time, Xiangyu suddenly held my wrist and said, "Zhou Cang, there's no need to ask. When we need to know, they will naturally tell us."
"Really," I said angrily, "If you don't want us to know, then don't tell us in front of us."
"Okay, okay, let's get angry. After dinner, I'll go do some serious things for you, hahaha," Zhou Lan said, laughing a few times, "I've just told you something that no one else knows.
Are you mentally balanced like this?"
Chen Mo and Xiang Yu couldn't help laughing after hearing Zhou Cang's words.
Now, I feel like I haven't grown up yet.
After lunch, Chen Mo and Zhou Lan both went out. They each went to do their own business, leaving Xiangyu and I drinking tea in the old house of the Zhou family, chatting incessantly.
Zhou Lan came back earlier than I thought, he probably only went out for more than half an hour.
Xiangyu saw that we two brothers seemed to have something to say, so she wisely said that she would go to the kitchen to make us some afternoon tea, and then left.
"Brother, how are you? Have you seen mom?" As soon as Xiangyu's back disappeared into the front hall, I couldn't wait to ask Zhou Landao.
"Yes, but Mom said it's not convenient for her to see you yet. She just asked me to bring you a roll of musical notation, saying that the Wen family's trump card is here." Zhou Lan said, taking out a roll that had turned yellow.
The silk paper was handed to me.
"Brother, is mom near Zhou's house? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come back from seeing her so quickly." I didn't take the sheet music, but stared at Zhou Lan and asked.
"Yes, she has been around us all the time. She is worried about you, but she can't see you." Zhou Lan said.
I didn't say the last words, I just silently took the roll of silk paper from Zhou Lan's hand.
If it is really her, she is the faceless woman who has been hovering around me.
"Brother, if we find all the astrolabees, can we bring mom back?" I said this very sadly.
"Okay, Xiao Cang, let's work hard together." Zhou Lan patted my shoulder and said firmly.
